YARETANOL®: GREEN POWER.

Nations are currently striving for energy independence, seeking alternative fuels that are not political instruments,

that are not contaminants and, in the case of biofuels, that do not come from foodstuffs.

1. THE PRODUCTS The YARE (the milky juice arising from pressing bitter cassava that has a high cyanide content) is at the moment not

taken advantage of industrially in Venezuela and our team, came to the selection and harvesting from yare in sitior where it is

generated and we made scale experimentations of laboratory of alcoholic fermentation during the last two years, obtaining an

increase in the yield of the production of yare/ethanol in 50%.

YARETANOL®: an ecological, non-fossil, renewable fuel that is derived from an environmental liability, that does not

sacrifice any foodstuffs and that has a high demand, at 50% of the market price, through a patented process (See

Apendix A) , with the following characteristics:

• High yield (50%), • Low energy use through self-generation, • With proprietary rights to the strain or bacteria for fermentation, • With machinery and equipment of our own design, • That generates a wide range of byproducts, • With very high social impact due to the creation of jobs (>1,500 jobs) and the fostering of agriculture, • With important benefits in relation to environmental cleaning because contamination problems are solved by

using yare (the milky juice arising from pressing bitter cassava that has a high cyanide content) as raw material, which is considered to be a waste and an environmental liability.

• A business capable of being reproduced at the international scale in tropical climates, on arid soils that are poor in nutrients.

Additionally:

• It is not poisonous. • It does not cause air pollution or any environmental hazard. • It does not contribute to the greenhouse effect problem (CO2 addition to the atmosphere, causing global

warming). • It has a higher octane rating than petrol as a fuel.

4. STRATEGIC ANALYSIS 4.1 External Environment Analysis

4.1.1Macro Environment Analysis

4.1.1.1Technological Developments Technological developments in the industry have focused on the biofuel derived from yare and a wide

range of byproducts

4.1.1.2 Social and Attitudinal Trends

• Biofuel industry achieved prominence ten years ago and continues to grow. • Current biofuel sacrifice foodstuffs toward more expensive. • The yield from the other raw material/ethanol is less than 35% while our yield yare/ethanol is 50%. • To obtain ethanol from corn or sugar cane is used higly fosil energy, while we use eolic auto – generation. • Carabobo produce 12,000 tons/year of yare industrially that are generated as waste from the 150 places

that have been making cassava bread for over 25 years. • The yare is considered a waste and an environmental liability. • In 2005, only 30% of gasoline was sold at a ecological; today, it is over 80% suggesting more discerning

consumers and lower margins in the industry.

Page 6: Ideas Yaretanol

4.1.1.3 Economic Trends

• Consumers today have a larger disposable income. • Urban populations are growing and using more fuel. • The Kioto convention make enphasis in non-fossil fuel because those not contribute to the greenhouse

effect problem. • In Venezuela 91% of the ethanol is imported from Brazil (sugar cane-based). • Many country are dependents of petroleum and it is a source non renewable.

These findings, suggest that YARETANOL will be able to capitalize on the impulse nature of the global market and

his needs.

4.1.2 Market Description • In 2007 291,000 liters of ethanol were produced in the Venezuela (for human comsuption). (9%) • In 2007 3,088 thousands liters of ethanol was consumption for fuel of cars and is imported. (90%) • In 2007 30,000 liter/day of ethanol was consumption in the Chemical Sector in Carabobo. (1%) • The National production accounts for 9 % of the total market and Imported 91%. • Ethanol for fuel is the faster growing sub sector in volume and value terms with increases of 2% from 2005 to 2008. • The actual installed capacity can´t supply the Venezuelan market for fuel and chemical sector. • We going to produce 30,000 lt/day (pilot plant) from YARETANOL to supply the market in the chemical sector.

6.3 Marketing Strategies

6.3.1 Products

ETAVEN, C. A.'s product offerings will be positioned as cost-effective, reliable, operational solutions to the current and

future needs of the Venezuelan Market and the global world.

6.4.2 Price

Here in Venezuela the market price from ethanol is $4,5/lt, very high and like as the price of (1 American gallon),

however, our price is US$2,21 per Lt., (50% less that the competence) because our real cost is $US0,18 ( the second year is

smaller because we produce our yare).

PRODUCT PRICE (US$/Ton)

Ethanol: 2,226.00 Cassava Flour: 228.31 Starch (Lts): 1,600.00 AAnimal Feed (Kgs): 456.62 Vinasses(Kgs): 228.31

It must be noted that we can have such a large price difference because the raw material extraction costs are

nil for our company, and the collection and transportation costs are very low because the yare is produced whether we

want it or not.

In addition, for negotiation purposes with the producers we have the advantage that we will be processing 30% of

the cassava that is lost in the crops because it does not reach the commercial size and weight standard, plus 50% more

comprising the cassava that is attacked by pests, that which rots away due to excess rain, and the cassava that is not good

to eat because it is either too tough or too fibrous.

After three phases of three months each, we will become independent from the cassava bread makers who will

be our initial suppliers of yare; second, we will be buying 50% less because we will extract the required yare ourselves,

and in the last phase we will extract 100% of the yare we will require, thus assuming total control and we will become

their cassava flour suppliers.

6.4.3 Distribution

The clients come until Planta to look for ethanol.

6.4.4 Promotion

Actually we don’t need to develop a mark because our strategy is based in low price, but we are conscious that in the

future will need it.

7. PRODUCTION PLAN

The initial assembly plants for the YARETANOL and Almidon will be located at the Tocuyito, Carabobo State.
